Footbal Outsiders: Patriots fall to 5th in overall DVOA

The breakdown:

• Offense: 2nd overall
• Defense: 30th overall
• Special Teams: 10th overall

Another interesting thing to note on this Football Outsiders is their chart on the biggest halftime collapses for teams during weeks 1-3. The 2010 Patriots had the 8th all time biggest differential between first and second half. Of course they did turn it around, but it shows the kind of inconsistency you can expect out of a young defense especially early in the season.
